Class Experience

Welcome to the Pizzeria!  This is an interactive class where children will get to use their imaginations and have fun pretending to be working in, and ordering from, a pizza restaurant.  Students will get to be chefs and "make the pizzas", as well as add toppings to pizzas based on orders (everyone will be able to order, and everyone will be able to make the pizzas).  At the end of class, we'll have story time.

Students are invited to dress up like a chef, and to bring play food or accessories to go along with the theme.  I'll also send out a worksheet of a pizza crust and students can bring this to class, as well as things to use as "toppings" to put on the crust (some examples: construction paper cut out in different shapes, pipe cleaners cut and turned into shapes, beads, mini erasers, pom poms, etc.).  All students really need for this class are their imaginations though!

Pretend play, or Dramatic Play, is one of the most important (and fun!) things your child will do during the preschool ages.  It may look like they're just playing, but they're working on language development, communication, conflict resolution, fine and gross motor skills, increasing their attention span, and learning important social skills. Pretend play supports Literacy and Math too - we'll have functional print in the classroom that they'll be interacting with (menus, signs, etc.) and they'll work on counting (while putting on toppings and adding up money to pay for their pizza).  Pretend play is also empowering to children - they get to be figures they look up to and want to be like.  Lastly, pretend play helps children with self-regulation and impulse control - they learn to take turns, to listen to one another, and to share.  These are all important life skills they are learning - while playing!

Whether your child is outgoing or shy, this class will help them have fun while learning and interacting with each other.  Let's encourage your children's imaginations and help them work on these important skills, all while playing!

Supply List
All students need for this class are their imaginations. 

However, students are invited to dress up like a chef, and bring play food (pizza and toppings, a tray, mixing bowl, plate, spoon, etc.) to class.  

I will also be sending out an optional worksheet that students can bring to class to use as the base of their pizza to decorate with toppings as well.  For toppings students can gather small toys, beads, buttons, or craft items like construction paper cut up or pipe cleaners bent into shapes, and bring those to class if they like.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello!  My name is Heather, and I am an online educator and a Mom.  I have my Lead Teacher Preschool certificate, and am in the process of becoming a certified Early Childhood Education teacher.  Before I became interested in teaching Preschool, I earned both a Bachelors Degree and Masters Degree in Science, and held positions in Environmental Education (teaching hands-on Science classes to young kids) and in Environmental Policy (writing legislation to make our world a little better).  When I'm not teaching, I like to spend time with my family (and dog Gracie!) kayaking, hiking, gardening, quilting, and cooking. 

My passion now is to teach young children not only important skills like their numbers and letters, but also to teach them how to form connections with each other.  So while we'll learn about colors and shapes and work on pre-writing skills, we'll also work on social-emotional skills like learning how to share and how to wait our turn.

Children learn through play, and we’ll do plenty of that in my classes!  My preschool classes will be taught in an interactive form, with the children getting a chance to learn while having fun.  I'll be teaching classes that include Literacy, Math, Science, Social Studies, Art, Music, and Movement.  

I'm looking forward to meeting all of your children, and teaching them in a supportive and fun learning environment!
